This is the code repository for Cross-Platform Development with Qt 6 and Modern C++, published by Packt.
Design and build applications with modern graphical user interfaces without worrying about platform dependency
Qt is a cross-platform application development framework widely used for developing applications that can run on a wide range of hardware platforms with little to no change in the underlying codebase. If you have basic knowledge of C++ and want to build desktop or mobile applications with a modern graphical user interface (GUI), Qt is the right choice for you. Cross-Platform Development with Qt 6 and Modern C++ helps you understand why Qt is one of the favorite GUI frameworks adopted by industries worldwide, covering the essentials of programming GUI apps across a multitude of platforms using the standard C++17 and Qt 6 features.
This book covers the following exciting features: Write cross-platform code using the Qt framework to create interactive applications Build a desktop application using Qt Widgets Create a touch-friendly user interface with Qt Quick Develop a mobile application using Qt and deploy it on different platforms Get to grips with Model/View programming with Qt Widgets and Qt Quick Discover Qt’s graphics framework and add animations to your user interface Write test cases using the Qt Test framework and debug code Build a translation-aware application Follow best practices in Qt to write high-performance code

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
QString string1 = QLatin1String("Test string");
QString string2 = QLatin1String("Test string");
Following is what you need for this book: This book is for application developers who want to use C++ and Qt to create modern, responsive applications that can be deployed to multiple operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux desktop platforms. Although no prior knowledge of Qt is expected, beginner-level knowledge of the C++ programming language and object-oriented programming system (OOPs) concepts will be helpful.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-12).
